Hello everyone!
I am pleased to announce that I am back to conducting research after a long hiatus. Due to a year of illness, I took a break from the internet and my research. My main focus has been on recovering, and I am happy to report that I am finally feeling like myself again and in good health.
With that being said, it’s time to start planning our 2025 Barkhamsted Lighthouse Village Gathering! I hope to see many of you there, and now is the time to request your time off from work. The gathering will take place on the weekend of July 4th, 2025 at the Barkhamsted Lighthouse Archaeological Preserve in Barkhamsted, Connecticut. The event is set on Facebook (make sure to let us know if planning on attending via event page in link)
If you are not on the descendant list, please contact me to be included. I will be confirming all descendants and issuing descendant cards at a cost of $30 each. This fee covers the production costs, and the remaining funds will be used for the gathering in 2025.
I am in need of a team in Connecticut to assist with organizing and setting up the event, as I currently reside in Louisiana. Additionally, my cousin Veronica Lee Hawkins and I are looking for an Airbnb to rent for the weekend in 2025. If anyone knows of one that will be available, please let me know so we can secure it.
Furthermore, I will be creating a Barkhamsted Lighthouse Newsletter to keep everyone informed of all the events and activities planned for the gathering. For now, you can find info on BLVD Association & download the descendant’s packet at: https://conidubois.com/111-2/association/

Hated I had to miss it myself~
Hi Jackie,
Thank you for your sweet comment — and please forgive me for taking so long to answer. The past couple of years I stepped back to focus on my health, and I’m now working through all the messages I missed.
That 2025 gathering has come and gone, but I’m so glad to know you want to join us — I’ll keep you posted on the next one, and I’d still love an extra pair of hands if you’re willing to volunteer.
About descendant cards for you and your brother: I’d be happy to help. To verify your line, could you send me what you know — names and dates going back as far as you can, especially your connection to the Barkhamsted Lighthouse families? If I can confirm it in my research, we’ll get your cards made. There is a small fee for the verification work and for producing the cards; I’ll share the details once I see what we’re working with.
Since you’re off Facebook these days, email is the perfect way to reach me — I’m right here.
Warmly,
Coni Dubois

Hi Coni, I’m sorry to hear that you’ve been sick! Thank goodness you’re doing better. I erased my Facebook but I would love to join this year. I’d also love to get descendant cards for myself and my brother, if its not too late. Please let me know what I need to do. I am also living in the area and can help if you still need volunteers! Xo Jackie

Hi Connie, sorry to hear you have been ill. Hope you are well and truly on the mend. Seeing as I am to far away to attend your gathering I wish you a very happy day. I shall look forward to your following posts. Take care. Best wishes. Rita.
